I have a job again. Well kind of. I got a job as a bartender at a staffing agency. The problem is, they don't get enough bartending gigs since most people need like 30 waiters and 1 bartender. So I'm taking their serving class on the 5th and that way I'll get jobs doing either. My first actual bartending job is on the 9th. Yes, I now wear black slacks, a white shirt and black tie to work. Now I have my foot in the door, I'll learn serving and I'll get experience in both. A large number of the bartenders I've talked to down here started in catering/staffing. I'll need to get a second job so I have enough cash flow to get things in order let alone have cash to get an apt.
It does feel good tho. Being unemployed always is fun for like the first day, then you start being bored out of your mind sitting around, then you run out of money... Besides, I've been fed up with tech work for a while now and this whole bartending idea kinda just came along out of the blue. The best job, not the best paying by any means, but most enjoyable was when I worked as a delivery driver. I dunno, I just seem to enjoy food service, and it can lead to decent money as well. Staffing waiter/bartender, fine dining waiter while still doing staffing bartending, full time bartending, bar management, who knows.

I know whatcha mean. Every once in a while I long for the days of food service. The money was shit (you know us lowly CSRs never got tips) - but at least it was low-responsibility. No quotas... And it was always pretty much the same shit every day. Good luck!
